The gas giant Aithalian gets its name from the Aithalian color-chemistry class, known for its deep, dark hues. The planet's composition consists primarily of carbon, giving it a unique color of deep purple (#1f1820). Aithalian is characterized by a moderate haze of fullerenes and other carbon allotropes, creating a misty atmosphere that obscures any potential clouds. The abundance of carbon compounds in the planet's atmosphere gives it a rich, dark appearance, making it a striking sight in the vast expanse of space.
